Would any sane Umno member spend 50 million ringgit just to buy votes with hopes he will be elected as the leader of Umno? I believe he would. It has been going on for the past 30 years or more? I don't know. Such practice will only ensure continuity of corruption. Simple reason if when such huge sum of money is gathered, say 50 million, there are stakeholders involved in this sum of money. Once the money spent, once this so called leader wins, picked and voted for by Umno members, he has to ensure the money "invested" by different stakeholders can grow. This money will grow and give returns from projects, be it infrastructure projects, projects launched by different Ministries we have in this country, depending how deep the pockets or federal funding is available for these ministries, or through government contracts, where usually cost overrun happens, or sky high costing for simple products, towards the end, the Rakyat has to pay for all this, more expensive cars, higher personal taxes, higher food prices, inflation on the economy, fuel price hike, when such areas have been exhausted, they can always turn to our nation's depleting natural resources. I believe the correct leader this time around must be one who is fully aware of the above and will take necessary steps to curb at every angle, to ensure the discontinuity of corruption. He must also at least have a basic degree or sense of what Economics and Mathematics are all about. He must be able to be fluent in Management knowledge, social behaviours, he must be religious enough, he must be kind hearted, compassionate, humane, intelligent, diplomatic, he must be an international man, he must be stern and decisive when situation calls for, he must be able to control and provide for the Rakyat regardless of Malay Chinese Indian or Aborigines, he must not be greedy, he must have self control, he must be likeable, administrative, he must show and prove the true mark of leadership, the list goes on.. Up until here do you see any person with such traits, before you make that all important decision for the coming Umno election? It's not easy to be an Umno leader or the eventual Prime Minister of this Nation, I only have hopes that the correct one is chosen.
